Re: Suitable animals for the extension name

[Ricardo Lafuente]

Hi!

Joining our thoughts into the name search: we were trying to come up with something not necessarily related to animals -- even if we do use a mascot for the logo (which we hope we can), the extension name itself can stand on its own without referring to the image. Our shortlist, starting from our favourite:

• Hermetic -- A way to keep your browsing "sterile", free from contamination. This angle brings up nostalgia for a time when we didn't have to watch our steps while following URLs. There's also a bit of a pun with the character of the hermit crab.
• Off-track -- About turning trackers off, and about going out of the pathway that they've laid out for you.
  
• Hideout -- A place to find a bit of comfort while evil things are out there
  
• Pillbug -- Another animal whose body has explicit protection mechanisms, with a reference to the venerable "Firebug" extension. 

HTH :-)
